Swapped the exhaust downpipe and CAT today at my mates lockup
Couple of mediocre runabouts!!
Nice bit of quality stainless, cheers Nige.
Up on ramp to get it sorted would have been a ****** on axle stands.
Used this method which worked:
-Remove the intake
-Undo the top lambda sensor
-Undo the 3 accessible turbo/downpipe flange nuts from above in the engine bay
-Undo 2nd lambda from underneath
-Undo exhaust centre section from OE downpipe and rear section and remove
-Undo 3 front propshaft bolts
-Undo 2 prop shaft centre brace bolts
-Slide propshaft over to the drivers side of the car
-Undo remaining downpipe/turbo flange nut
-Wrestle the standard downpipe out of the space left after moving the prop to the side
Unfortunately couldn't remap as the Bluefin download didn't work, but the performance is improved just with the free flow the new pipe gives you, feels quicker to rev and just wants to go. The sound is awesome too even without the power valve back box on. Pops and farts like a good un. Bring on the remap to release those horses.
